When do the 2021 Grammys air?
The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS on Sunday, March 14, at 8:00 p.m. ET. It was originally scheduled for January 31 but ended up being pushed back to a later date because of the COVID-19 crisis.
Who’s hosting the 2021 Grammys?
Trevor Noah will be leading the show! “In a year that most human beings would love to forget, there has been one constant force that has brought us together — music,” the Daily Show host tweeted on November 24. “I’m truly honored to be hosting [the Grammys], a night celebrating all of our favorite artists who’ve helped keep us sane while we’re all stuck indoors!”
Ahead of the star-studded event, three-time nominee Jhené Aiko is set to serve as the host of the Premiere Ceremony.
Who is performing at the 2021 Grammys?
As it stands, the performers have yet to be announced. However, given last year’s incredible line up — Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, Aerosmith, Lizzo, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani — we have no doubt 2021 will be just as amazing.
